At this time s singular sUte of sflairs is presented The commercial interests of the country sre overwhelmed with e.nbarrasemcnt: its monetsry concerns are uuusually disordered ;every rsmihcation of society is invaded by distress, andthe social odilice seems threatened with disorgaiuxation;every esr is filled with predictions of evil sod the murraurings of despondency ; tho general government isboldly asssiled by s Urge and resi^cuWe portion of theoeoole, ss the direct cauae of their difficulties , openresistance to the laws is publicly encouraged, sml aspirit of insubordination is fostered, a., a necessarydefence to the pretended usurpations of lbs party in?tower ; some, from whom better things were hoped, areuitkiuii the " confuaion worse confounded, by a nesalonir pursuit of extreme notions snd indefinite |>hsiit?uts,totally incompatible with a wholesome state of thocountry. lu the midst of all those difficulties snd embarrassments, it is fesred thst msny of the loss hnn ofthe friends of the sdministrstion snd sup|>orlers olde.nocrstic principles sre wsvermg in their conhdeiice,and beginning, without just cauae. to view with distrusttliose men to whom they liave l??eii long atuched. anilwhose elevation they liave laboured to promote fromhonest and patriotic motives. Exulting in the anticipation of dismay and confusion smongst the supporters orthe sdministrstion aa the consequence of these things,tlie opposition are consoling themselves with the lueathat Mr. Van Buren's friends, as ,a national party, areveiling to dissolution ; and they allow no opportunity topass unimproved to give eclat to their own doctrines.They are, indeed, maturing plans for their own futuregovernment of the country, with seaming couMonee ofcertain success.This confidence is increased by thp fact, thst visionarytheories, and an unwise adherence 10 the plan for anexclusive metallic currency have unfortunately earnedsome beyond the actual and true policy of the government ; and, by impairing public confidence in the creditsystem, which ought to be preserved and regulated, butnot destroyed, have tended to increase the difficultiesunder which the country is now labouring. All theseseem to indicste the necessity of a new organ at theseat of government, to be eatabliahcd upon sound principles, and to represent fsithfully, snd not to dictate, thereal policy of the administration, and the true sentnncnts,measures, and interests, of the grest body of its supporters The necessity also appears of the adoption ofmore conservative principles than ibe conduct of thoseseems to indicate who seek to remedy abuses by destraying tbe institutions with/ihich they are found connected. Indeed some measure of contribution is deemedessential to tho enhancement of our own self-respect athome, and to the promotion of the honor and credit ofthe nation abroad. '' .To meet these indicstions this undertaking has beeninstituted, and it is hoped that it will produce the effectof inspiring the timid with courage, the desponding withhope, and the whole country with confidence in thesdministrstion of its government. In this view, thisjournal will not seek to lesd, or to follow any faction, orto advocate the views of any particular detachment ofmen. , It will aspire to accord a just measure of support to each of tho co-ordiuate branches of the government, in the lawful exercise of their constitutionalprerogatives. It will sddress itself to the understandingsof men, rather than appeal to any unworthy prejudicesor evil passions. It will rely invariably upon the principle, that the strength and security ol American i"stitutions depend upon the intelligence and virtue of theMadisohum witl not, in any event, be made theinstrument of arraying the north and the south, the eastand the west, in hostilo attitudes towards each other,upon any subject of either general or locsl interest. Itwill reflect only that apirit and those principles of mutualconcession, compromise, aud reciprocal goodrwill, whichso eminently chsracterited the inception, formation, aiwlsubsequent adoption, by the several Slates, of the constitution of the United States. Moreover, in the samehallowed spirit that has, at all periods since the adoptionof that sacred instrument, characterized its nsruNCB* by tmk PUOPLE, our press will hasten to ita support atevery emergency that ahall arise, from whatever quarter,and under whatever guise of philanthropy, policy, orprinciple, the antagonist power may appear.If, in this responsible undertaking, it shall be ourgood fortune to succeed to any degree in promoting theharmony and prosperity of the country, or in conciliatingjealousies, and allaying the asperities of party warfare,by demeaning ourself amiably towards all; by indulging personal animosities towards none ; by conductingourself in the belief that it is perfectly practicable todiffer wMh others in matters of principle and of expe' diency, without a mixture of personal uiikmdness or lossof reciprocal respect; and by "asking nothing that isnot clearly right, and submitting to nothing that iswrong," then, and not otherwise, will the full mcssureof its intention be accomplished, snd our primary rulefor its guidance be sufficiehtly observed and satisfied.This enterprixe liss not been undertaken without theapprotmiion, advisement, and pledged support of manyof the leading and soundest minds in the rsnks of thedeinocractic republican party, in the extreme north andin tho extreme south, in the east and in the west. Anassociation of both political experience and talent of thehighest order will render it competent to carry forwardthe principles by which it will be guided, and make ituseful as a political organ, and interesting as a journalof news. Arrangements also have been made to fix theestablishment upon a substantial and permanent basis.Tho subscriber, therefore, relics upon the public for somuch of their confidence snd encouragement only as thefidelity of his press to their great national interests shallprove itself entitled to receive.1 THOMAS ALLEN.Washington Citv, D.

'Ike reason that themultiplication of baaka leads to the high priceof produce, is universally given by the Ix>cofoco paper*, for their hostility to banks.?When money is plenty, the number of grainbuyers it increased; and in the competitionwith one another, the tanner geta the highestprice fur hit) produce, and he obtains his payon the spot. When money ia scarce, that is,when the banks are restricted in their issues,the number of buyera ia limited, and a fewpersons hsve it in their power to dep*prices and control the markets. T**' ?is obliged to sell low, or to lfSuch is the present coiu,: relation 10 every thii?" ;*rmer forthe market, - ibe high priceof that a to the fact, that thett>'- oU to be short; and even?ji..' .?> . i?ring the price it would if pio?? -j abundant. All the Loco-foco papersue ringing the changes against the banks andthe speculators, because the price of wheataiul flour is kept up. Now if the bauka areinstrumental in securing a good price forwheat, hare our farmers, who raise that article for the market, any reason to complain ?The answer is no; and if the banks help thefarming interest,' I hey are beneficial to thewhole community?always excepting the shavers, lawyers and sheriffs, who prosper n>oatwhen the rest of innukind suffer: for theprosperity of every other calling depends entirely upon the success of tbe farmer.As an evidence of the feeling of the Ix?cofoco papers, we copy an article below fromthe Ontario Messenger, a paper of that school,and which has dcclarcd the question now before the people to be " Banks or no Banks."The Messenger is for the entire destructionof all banks. The article is prefixed to astatement from another print, that a Mr. Sinclair had been robbed of some 60 thousanddollars, which he had obtained in small sumsfrom several banks, and with which lie wasproceeding west for the purchase of wheat.?The I joco-foco editor of the Messenger seemsto think, that the people will have but littlecharity for the banks, in consequence of the" exorbitant price of wheat and ffour for thelast 12 months;"?in other words, becausethe banks have enabled the farmers to getgood prices for their crops. Now wc entertain entirely the contrary opinion. Whatwould the 1 joco-focos have the banks do withtboir monev ? Would they have thein hoardit awav, whilst the shavers and those who hadmoney independent of the banks were preyingupoa the whole community, and extorting theproduce of the country from the farmer at halfprice ? That is the Loco-foco game undoubtedly ; and they are such short-sighted simpletons as to imagine, really, that they can enlistthe farmers in their wild scheme of ripping ^up the geese that have been laying us goldeneggs.Great efforts have been made to excite theprejudices of the .farmers against the bauks,by the office-seekers and politicians of thelioco-foco school, but we shall lay it down asa principle to which we, shall embrace frequent occasion to recur, that no two classesin the whole community have such a closeidentity of interests as the banks and thefarmers. The farmers give the best circulation to the issuoa of tho banks, and lh? banksfurnish the means for the purchase of produceat tho highest prices. The fact is about tobe tested. The revulsions in the commercialworld, and the restrictions imposed upon thebanks by tho suspension act, have reducedthe amount of bank circulation far below thewants of the community. The consequencesare seen in the depression of prices for everything except wheat and flour. Wool is merely nominal at half last year's rates. ? Barleywill bring, probably, 44 to 50 cents?oals 25to 31 cents?corn a little better, because thecorn will not be heavy?butter, beef and pork,much less than last year. As a natural consequence, farming lands will depreciate ; indeed, there is no sale for farms at present, because nobody has tho means to buy, andowners of land are not willing to sell yet at asacrifice. All this, in a great measure, is tobe attributed to the want of bank circulation ;and if the Loco-foco war against the banks isto be waged with success, the consequence tothe whole farming interest would be frightful.But we do not believe that the true tendencyof the doctrines of that party can be muchlonger misunderstood. A little experiencewill set us all right upon the subject; andthen the dark cloud of Loco-focoism, whichnow lowers upon the land, will be dissipated,and the bright beams of the sun of prosperitywill again gladden tho hearts of all who donot thrive, or are elevated, by the distressesof the mass of the people.From the iVeu> York Timet.Washington, Sept. 12th, 1837.GentlemenDoth House# of Congrcs adjournedthis morning without discussing any measure of importance. I |>erceivc thai the correspondent of the Courierand Enquirer, attributes to Mr. Bronaon, of our State,an effort to indirectly further the election of Mr. Blair,as Printer, by offering a resolution' to postpone I he consideration of the subject for a few days Those whoknow tho course Mr. Branson has pursued, snd the independent stand he has assumed in support of conservative principles, need not be informed that he is the lastindividual in the House, who would cover his real designs under any disguise whatever. The truth is, thatthe friends of Messrs Blair and Rivea, inado an appealto the patriotism of the conservatives, suggesting thatthe business of the session was likely to be delayed forweeks by a protracted balloting for Printer, and thofriends of Mr. Allen were willing to temporarily waivethe Consideration of the subject, if iu making the attempt, it was evident that time would thus be saved. Inpursuance of this praiseworthy concession Mr. Bronsonoffered the resolution of postponement, but soon perceived tliat it was little calculated to expedite the publicbusiness. When convinced of the fsct, Mr Bronson,united with his friends in again urging the claims of the% ' ior of the Msdisonian, wnich resulted in his election.Tli# democratic party in New York, may real assuredthat there ia little fear of the jtasssge of any new anddsngeroua financial schemes, when such men as Branson, Clarke, Foster, and othera of our State ; Gadaus,I'atten, and their conservative colleaguea from V irgiina;May, and his democratic associates from Illinois; I*egsre of South Carolina, and tnany other democratic republicans from other |>ortion? of the Union, whosissenifrom the President as to the expediency of adopting theTreasury scheme, at this inauspicious period, are attheir posts.The Prksiukmt's Mbssaob, which occupies a top*portion of our paper to-day, for talent and ability, ia suchs one ss might be expected from the distinguished indtridusl whom the peojde have called to fill the Executive Chair of the nation, and is certainly nol behind anysimilsr document of his predecessors. The matters towhich he calls the attention of Congress, are discussedin a forcible and lucid manner, and hie own views expressed with a fearlessness which must command therespect of tho* who do not agree with bim in all hiepropositions. Although in some of the measures recommended he may differ in opinion with some of hisrepublican friends, yet wc doubt not tbey will award tohnn the credit of honestly expressing bis opinions, sndthat they will give his recommendations the consideration to which their source entitles them ?Ottrtgo FalIttditim.
